rived in the city last evening by the
LAY express Colouel Quay came
directly through from Beaver, and
Tho others joined him at Harrisburg.
II bas been whispered about that the
Beaver statesman was on route to
the city and quite group Of poll
tician gathered in the Continental
Hotel corridor at I o'clock to greet
him; bnt as il wac nearly III o'clock
wLeu the party reached the hotel,
having stopped for dinner on The
way from tho Broad Street Station,
the waiting politicians had all disap-
peored.
The Senator-elect received Press
representative cordially in his room
and chattea freely on State aud ma
tional politics. He was asked what
he thought OF the outlook for the
State campaign.
Il havbeen resting at homo or
some time, replied tho Senator, 'lnd
bave only just begun to look over
the fold. As tho political 70 rces in
the State seem TO be now disposed, =,
they indicate the election OF the en-
the Republican State ticket Never
tholess that result will not be &C.
complishod without hard work
throughout tue party orgoc,zation.
The necessity of the situation is that
every Republican in the State casts
a ballot on November s.
DO you mean that there is any
cause for alarmf' we have an ad-
mirahlo ticket. Our candidate for
Judge can not possibly be beaten.
Captain Hart is so admirably fitted
, for The Office Of State treasurer with
tho requirements OF which | may as
sumo TO be somewhat acquainted
and his services to his country, to
his State and to his party have been
such that he, too, can lot be beaten
II is not on personal grounds that |
SEQ any unusual necessity for vigil
auce. The candidates are unassail-
able. The necessity for unusual ac
tiyity arises from other sources
Aud what are those' well, the
Republican party should remember
that il has again declared in favor Of
the submission If the Prohibition
amendment TO the vote Of the pco-
ple Now, that and the action Of the
Republican majority in the last
Legislature in favor OF high license
has offended the liquor people. The
party has not done this with its eyes
shut. 1t has lakon high ground and
an advanced position, as the RepubS
lican purity has always done in the
past and as it will always continue
to do so long MS it continues to be
the party Of advancement. But tho
liquor dealers, Wholesale and retail,
are offended. ] believe that they
mean what they say when they dee
clare their intention Of Supporting
the Democratic party this year, in
The belief that, if they succeed, that
party will in the next Legislature
repeal the High License bill, make
tho saloon business 30 cheap as TO
multiply tho low groggeries that do
mot BARN to our working people,
and also overthrow the submission ol
prohibItion'
But is this eleloeut alone formid-
abloY
considered by itself, l do not
think it is. Even ths liq Tor elemen
is divided, for the most intelligent
portion of it fally understands that
unless the liquor traffic makes itsel
less offensive. it will be wiped OF,
entirely. Moreover, the Republican
party ought to be able to rely upon
the lireside yoto 10 counteract, and
moro than couuteract, the loss ol
, those liquor dealers who have sup.
ported it, But the task will be tC
bring out this freside vote. A large
section of it is mado mp Of citizens
who do not often so the polls in what
arc called of years. To bgiug out
this vote will give the Republican
ticket a safe majority, which, indeed
ought to be as tremendous as is the
majority 10 the community for NOR
ality aud social order against their
opposites.'
/. Aud how is this vote to be brought
oui?' oh, we have an excellent
chairman OF the State Committee,
and the liquor men themselves are
making the issue clearer every day.
How about tho third party pro.
